Recommend ATX PSU for ITX build

[Middle-C]

looking to get a new PSU for my ITX build as i'm shifting my current one to a new system.
currently on the CoolerMaster Elite 120 case which supports full ATX PSU.

my current PSU is fully modular, so i'm not sure if a non-modular PSU would b able to fit w the wire management... already faced difficulties with a full mod...

looking for gurus to advice if i should get a mod or if a non-mod psu would suffice. any good psu at least 500w to intro?

on a budget

thanks in advance

modular would be better anyday.
I recommend corsair RM series PSU... this one is entirely silent i can say.. my own PSU fan like havent even spin before, dust filter dam dam clean.. that's how great it is..

hmm better to get fully/semi modular PSU since u are using an ITX casing. U can consider semi modular as most semi modular consists of standard fixed mobo connectors such as 20+4p connectors and 4+4p connectors only.

perhaps a Seasonic M12II 520W?

Wow. the RM is abit out of budget...

more concerned with cable management than the noise...

Wait for distro to bring in superflower. Hx600 would do fine.. Semi modular but only the 3 main cables are attached. The rest are modular.

They also bringing in leadex gold 650W which is 80+ gold. Fully modular psu. $$ unknown.

yea. currently looking at this model now...

any views on this 2 modulars?
1) thermaltake smart se 530w?
2) superflower HX 500M - i think M is the modular version?

what about this non-mods?
1) FSP Hexa 500w
2) FSP S 600 GOLD

looking at these models from tradepac bundle...

Hmm i think better to get at least semi modular. I doubt casing can fit all the non modular cables in.

thermaltake smart se 530w and superflower HX 500 is good too but i think superflower HX 500 is OOS now.

Get a semi modular. Possible to reduce the wire clutters for wires that you do not need.

yup. i think semi mod would fit my budget. any particular models to recommend, shifu?

thermaltake 530w has a really sweet price tag... =D

Silverstone no good. I like the fact they have short cable set for mITX cases.

Seasonic G series? Semi-mod just like M12-II series

 

[royfrosty]

Either you wait for superflower hx500/600 to restock. Or can go for Seasonic g series.

 

[devilwahaha]

Would recommend the hx500 instead, some other semi-modular PSU's come with 24 pin/8 pin and an extra 4 or 8 pin which you will have to stash somewhere, hx500 only has 24+8 so you wont have anything you dont need in there.

hmmm. currently superflower hx 500M seems to be a good choice. but may b getting the thermaltake smart se530w instead due to budget. any reviews on the thermaltake psu?

get either Corsair CX 500W modular or Silverstone Strider Gold 550W Full Modular. They're shorter than other Modular PSUs which are suitable for ITX builds.
